Astronomic-related programming language for solving least squares and robust estimation problems

Developed for use in the Hubble Space Telescope, where more conventional systems like Reduce would be difficult to integrate with the rest of the software suites. Features the observation type, which features error recording etc.

Significantly, it played a part in fixing the error in the HST's main telescope (refer Jeffreys 1998)
